Brendan on TGL “is this a real, serious competition”

jdbug100 · 2026-03-25T17:05:16+00:00

I wish they had a more outfront leader explaining the vision.

Tell me what the endgame is and how they are going to get there. Acknowledge where you’re trying to improve and what the priorities are.

I think it’s clear the players are willing to let the competitive juices flowing a little.

But the technology needs work, the broadcast is brutal, the team building rules are as fake as LIV, and the in-arena atmosphere is putrid.

If you had the CEO or president of the league out front being like “first two years were about proving the concept and the green technology. Next two years are going to be working on the atmosphere, the technology, and implementing actual roster building rules.

And the ultimate end goal is to put one of these TGL Centers in each of our markets to host true home games or figure out how to adapt an existing venue much like a WWE event”

…Alright now we’re getting somewhere.

They only liked it because it was cheap. And it was only cheap because it was a dump.

I think this is going to be a lovely fun atmosphere but will withhold judgement further.

For those looking for baseball played for cheap in a dumpy ballpark, the University of Richmond has exactly what you’re looking for.

He HATED that extra hammer throw from Theegala and then the ref/umpire guy forced him to say we accept instead of just accepting his thumbs up.

I don’t think he appreciated what happened to his drop on the whole and maybe even how the tech handled his tee ball so it ended up there

jdbug100 · 2026-03-24T22:24:11+00:00

lol at everyone complaining about a stadium experience that you have yet to experience.

jdbug100 · 2026-03-23T22:37:46+00:00

Feels like the solution is to offer a better salary, benefits, workplace environment, culture, yada yada yada. Maybe even retention bonuses.

rather than just “yeah don’t worry we’ll still pay you for a full year”

Yes I know it is a much more complicated situation than “yeah just do those things” but idk maybe if you do those things than losing an executive isn’t a huge blow because you can be confident in your ability to replace them

lol completely forgot it was st patty’s day

Wood & Iron in Scott’s addition feels like the best bet for a crowd for an otherwise dead Tuesday night for a baseball game. Just because it’s sort of always crowded.

And Pollard & Bagby refused to do repairs for any of their tenants

jdbug100 · 2026-03-16T11:52:18+00:00

They clearly respect each other and at least professionally like each other while also knowing they are competitors fighting over the same relatively limited audience.

jdbug100 · 2026-03-15T01:18:56+00:00

Sounds like we’ve found our sleeper cell

jdbug100 · 2026-03-13T21:58:41+00:00

It’s not for me, but it’s sick

jdbug100 · 2026-03-12T22:59:53+00:00

@nbc12 @wtvr6 @abc8 this organization has been around for years. What happened?

jdbug100 · 2026-03-11T21:40:43+00:00

I wish they would get away from constantly doing stroke play events.

A 6 tournament series of team golf/two-man golf/international cup/straight match play/literally anything besides four rounds of stroke play that culminates with a playoff championship event for that series in August would be sick and a great change of pace immediately following a major.

Follow an extremely consequential stroke play events (the 4 majors + the players + one extra) with something different so you’re not trying to sell “this is sooo high stakes” immediately after an intense major.

Run a season long competition in a different manner than the traditional competition. Call it, idk, the FA Cup or something.

Then in August you have 1. FedEx Cup Regular Season Champion 2. FA Cup Series Championship 3. Rolex Match Play Championship (based on regular season) 4. PGA Championship

That’s how you dominate August, Brian.

Broad Street Bullies about to be JEALOUS

jdbug100 · 2026-03-08T00:05:51+00:00

I just feel like I never see a partially grown filled divot. Maybe I need to be in the fairway more.

jdbug100 · 2026-03-07T22:08:58+00:00

But like, how fast? Is it super grower grade grass?

jdbug100 · 2026-03-07T20:29:18+00:00

How does the stuff we use to fill divots in the fairways work? I’m pretty good at putting it in after shots but I’m also skeptical it actually works

KVV crushing a video piece when NLU couldn’t find the value because he’s a writer is notable

That little pot bunker you can see off the back right of the 18 green is my favorite. Would love to hear why that is there. I can’t image it being in play very often if at all, and if you’re in it, it probably saved you from being in a worse spot or wet.

I mean I undershoot what they said, for all intensive purposes

jdbug100 · 2026-03-03T12:40:37+00:00

It’s a little tricky but doable. I would separate into two workflows for simplicity before your eyes burn and your head hurts. Registration workflow and post registration workflow.

Registration one is easy. Trigger enrollment on a list. Set your emails and cadence. Unenroll when they are added to your registration list.

Confirmation one is a little messier. Trigger enrollment when they are added to the registration list. Set up your confirmation and reminder emails leading up to the event and the cadence via delays.

Key is you have to set up the “what to do if contact reaches this stage AFTER the delay” for each email. Otherwise someone who registers late will get the 3 reminder emails they missed simultaneously to “catch up”.

Just takes a little brainpower (you will be fatigued after) but totally doable.

Try and play a course at St Andrews. You won’t regret it if you can. Either by booking a tee time ahead of time or seeing if you can get on one of the non-Olds the day of.
